Astoria Gateway Cinemas

The Astoria Gateway Cinema seems to have a very pleasant crew and technically sophisticated theaters. That's the good news. I have complained to them formally about the lack of public information on when films' run are planned to end. We have been eager to see a couple of recently engaged films only to find that they have moved on after a week here. Due to our schedules we were unable to get to see them before they closed. In one instance (Dunkirk) we were assured by a staffer that the film would certainly be playing into the next week, as it had just arrived. It didn't and we missed it. As rare as quality films arrive in town, missing them is really irritating. We recently watched the Star Wars release in a frigid, unheated theater that has been inoperable for some weeks. We decided to bear with it as we could not know when the show would be closing its run here. We won't do that again, and will likely continue to avoid the movie house in the future.

Had to wait in a very long line just to get tickets because the only way you could buy them was to go in to the concession stand. We had to wait for each person/group to buy tickets AND get their snacks. It is conveniently located and had a good selection of movies. Clean and comfortable.

Why does a theatre sell tickets and concessions in the same line? If you just want a ticket you're stuck waiting for indecisive eaters. Why does it take two managers and a worker to ring up one customer? Inefficient. On the other hand the movies look great and well-balanced sound. It would be nice if an usher could people to SHUT UP during the showings.

This is a very busy place, at least on the night I went there. Must say it was new movie release date. The cost is reasonable. The food served is like all movie theaters. The seats were comfortable enough. This place would be good for family movie night, date night, or just going by yourself.
